I fully support continued development of X11 no matter what form it takes.
Division is worst enemy of FOSS and in the past 15+ years it got even worse. But time ago I read why Wayland was started and what challenges it tried to mitigate. X11 is also not perfect. Soooo I do not know what is better.
By design, and as announced, Wayland will never be able to provide all functionality of that which it purports to be replacing. Meanwhile, check out the disaster Plasma 6 has become trying to use multiple displays, whether using Wayland or X11. It dumps every session restored app on the primary display and virtual desktop #1, wholly disregarding original position within display, among other ineptitudes.
IMO, without some fork of X11, whether Xlibre or some other, I expect non-Wayland users will increasingly suffer. X11 bugs not reproducible in Wayland already get no attention.
Thank the Lord, Tim who forked it, Slavek, Michelle and the rest who keep TDE keeping on!!!
